Errani banned for anti-doping violation

Not only could they be using Sara Errani as a scapegoat, but they also banned her for two months, an amount of time that shows that they are taking action, but is also not long enough to really hurt the player.

According to the document from the disciplinary proceeding, the tribunal concluded that it was "more likely than not" that the drug "entered the Player's body by means of her mother's medication, Femara, accidentally contaminating the Player's food".

The tribunal sanctioned Errani, 30, after ruling that she could have done more to protect herself. Mrs Errani - who has suffered multiple incidences of cancer in the past - kept the chemical in a blister pack of pills, which she would leave to the side of her kitchen worktop.

"I am extremely disappointed but - at the same time - at peace with my conscience and aware I haven't done anything wrong, neither have I committed any negligence against [the] anti-doping program".

All her results from the date of her positive out-of-competition test on 16 February until a negative test on 7 June have been annulled.
